Static Stress Drop
Static Stress Drop : A theoretically well-defined quantity that compares the "before" and "after" stress-strain states of the elastic volume that surrounds the fault. The definition of the overall static stress drop reduces to a weighted integral over just the fault portion that slips during the earthquake. See dynamic stress drop; also Ruff (2002, p. 548-550), Brune and Thatcher (2002, p. 580-581), and Figure 14 in Ben-Zion (2003)
